Family Friendly A good, moderate trail for older children. It’s a bit rocky in some portions.

Need to Know

There is a large boulder crossing at about 2 miles. July through September is the best time to hike this trail due to winter runoff.

Description

This is a moderate level, well-maintained trail that head through many lakes and forested areas. The Snowy range is the backdrop for the hike with all its beauty. This is also a good starting point for overnight hikes. The end of the trail connects to the Sheep Lake Trail #389 with access to Deep Lake.

Nice hike. Some snow and washed out trail areas you had to navigate. Hiked an extra 2 miles because the main gate was shut. 5.7mi — 3h 30m
